City School Board - September 29, 2026

The Murfreesboro City School Board meeting on September 29, 2026, approved several facilities and service agreements. The board approved an agreement with Nashville Pond for cleanup and aesthetic restoration at Discovery School (cost not stated), a 36-month Everon fire-protection monitoring and inspection contract totaling $318,467, and a Rodriguez Masonry agreement for a Hobgood ADA sidewalk costing no more than $2,200. The sidewalk amount was supported by a separate approved transfer of $2,200 within the FY27 general-purpose budget. The board also approved the annual capital improvement plan as a planning document—not approval of individual projects—which identifies about $83 million in city-funded needs through FY35, including $55 million in classroom space potentially shifted to FY31, and about $7.35 million in district-funded projects through FY32.

Other approved budget changes were accounting adjustments rather than new spending: a $100,000 transfer within the nutrition fund to align with state guidance and a $422,555 reallocation for the second year of computer leases to align with state accounting guidance; the number of devices and overall budget are unchanged. The board approved advisory boards for extended school programming and pre-K; the ESP program receives approximately $571,000 through a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant. Discussion of field-trip transportation noted charter-bus costs of roughly $750–$1,000 per bus and possible grant support, but no related purchase was approved. The City Schools Foundation announced it will distribute more than $56,000 in teacher grants, bringing its cumulative support to about $1.9 million; no additional procurement action was identified for those grants.
